Do we have any problems with people spamming the competition? I don't  
believe so. Why not take the approach of letting people submit what  
they want, and if it becomes a problem (the judges don't take into  
account the design restriction, or someone spams the competition, or  
whatever), then we can make a rule that the organizer has to "vet" the  
submissions.

Remember, we're all cool with each other here. It's a community, and  
people want to support the community. Don't assume that people will  
try to cheat unless you have a good reason to.
